China extends its long reach

Recently, Taiwan and China agreed to begin direct flights on a regular basis, thus allowing passengers to save time (and potentially $) by not having to travel through Hong Kong each time (that's the current flight path).

Just wanted to point out that China is trying to keep their control on their citizens, even when they're in Taiwan. "Chinese visitors to Taiwan will not be allowed to gamble or engage in "pornographic activities," China's state news agency reported Sunday.".

1. There are no casinos in Taiwan today - they might be just saying this ahead of speculation that casinos may be developed in the future, but come on. Just announce it then.
2. As if China doesn't turn a blind eye to its own "pornographic activities".
